Unreal expectations rant
I got tired of looking at Instagram girls because I couldn’t look like them and I was okay with it.
Now that I’m pregnant, I see ads for butter creams and stuff for a “stretch mark free” pregnancy. Or women only gaining 25-35lbs and dropping it in a handful of weeks and then some more. I’m tired of seeing it.
I look at myself and I feel so much dysmorphia, and I catch myself comparing me to these other pregnant women. Finally broke 200lbs, stretching on my inner thighs and arms. Some days, I feel disgusting. I’m trying my best to eat good, walk outside more. It’s hard. It’s really hard to feel good about myself during this.
Before pregnancy, media described the perfect woman. During pregnancy, media is describing a perfect woman while creating a baby.
Fuck off man.
